""An Introduction To Reading, In Singhalese And English, Part 1"" is a book written by James Chater and published in 1821. The book is intended to help teach English to the children of Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) by providing a bilingual introduction to reading in both Singhalese and English. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part covering basic reading skills such as letter recognition, phonics, and simple vocabulary. The second part of the book is not mentioned in the title and is not available for review. The book was written during a time when Ceylon was under British colonial rule, and the teaching of English was seen as an important tool for assimilation and cultural domination. As such, the book reflects the attitudes and values of the colonial era, and its content and approach may be viewed as culturally insensitive by modern standards. Nonetheless, the book remains an important historical document that sheds light on the colonial educational system in Ceylon and the challenges faced by teachers and students in that context.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
